Presale event to be announced.
A true sensation in contemporary art, Auckland-based Joshua Davison is bringing together a magical collection for his first solo exhibition with Turua Gallery this August. A body of work that promises to be a hypnotising contrast of texture, colour, realism, and abstraction.
Though self-taught, Joshua practices traditional oil-painting techniques that hark back centuries; imprimatura, a favoured renaissance approach, and sfumato, a da Vinci staple, are just a couple of the historical techniques he dabbles in. Also quite the innovator, he includes his methodical palette knife technique and textural piping model paste in his art practice. This medley of new-and-old gives Joshua’s works a sense of true originality.
